you know what

really irks me.

Yesterday, around 3:45pm, right in the heart of the Ottawa business district, some asshole asked a sweet, early-twenty-something for change. She said no and tried to keep walking. He pulled her aside and tried to mug her. Some knight-in-shining swept in and saved her (wicked awesome). The mugging douche ran off. The knight-in-shining escorted the girl to a safer place where she was going to meet her mom.

This is totally the shit I can't stand.

I think Chris and I live a block from bad-news-begging central. At least that's the way it feels sometimes. I don't give anything to these folks any more.

I'd love to help people who need help. I don't want to help people who hurt other people.
